Brooklyn Back in the Day: Coney Island

We return to our Brooklyn Back in the Day feature of Brooklyn historical photos with another very nice Coney Island shots. We found this one posted over at the Coney Island Message Board, where we've found some wonderful historic Coney pics. There's a whole conversation thread devoted to Coney Island History where all sorts of things pop up. Of course, for Coney Island history, don't forget the Coney Island History Project. This is a photo of Nathan's shot from across Surf Avenue looking toward the boardwalk and the water. The space on the left is now also occupied by Nathan's.
